  • General Documents
    Neighbourhood Engagement Contract …………………………………………..…… East Dorset Neighbourhood Policing Team Neighbourhood Engagement Contract - Self Evaluation Report and Neighbourhood Engagement Plan Part 1 – Introduction and Self Evaluation Section or department Eastern NPT Date of completion 26072019 This is a self-evaluation completed by the NPT Sergeant and Inspector responsible for the specific section or department. The second part of this report becomes the Neighbourhood Engagement Plan when complete. This report will be completed annually and submitted to the SMT for final assessment by the OPCC. Results of the evaluation will be taken to Force boards. Provide the context of your business area in relation to Engagement with communities. The Eastern section consists of a large rural community with three key towns of Wimborne, Ferndown and Verwood and large villages such as Corfe Mullen and Alderholt. The popularity of the area, being close to the New Forest, Bournemouth and the Dorset coast, has seen a rapid expansion in housing from the 1980s with the Verwood, Ferndown, West Moors and Corfe Mullen populations more than quadrupling. There still remains a rural feel, however, especially in the north and west of the area. The towns hold the majority of the 59,039 households and 138,570 people (2016). The average age of the community, across the section, is 47. The proportion of individuals over the age of 65 is significantly higher than the national average. More than half of the population are made up of successful professionals, in suburban or semi-rural homes and active elderly people, living in pleasant retirement locations. Current housing growth can be seen to be concentrated on the Colehill, Wimborne and West Parley wards, with 2,500 new homes being built around Wimborne alone (2018 onwards).

  • Chief Constable for Dorset Police Thank You for Your Interest in Becoming the Next Dorset Police Chief Constable
    The appointment of the Chief Constable for Dorset Police Thank you for your interest in becoming the next Dorset Police Chief Constable. Dorset is one of the highest performing police services in England and Wales: we are rated ‘good’ overall by HMICFRS; have the ninth lowest crime rate; and are supported by consistently strong levels of public confidence. Despite this, I recognise our current and future challenges, and wish to appoint a Chief Constable who shares a vision of continuous improvement and who understands that policing is at its best when it represents, works with and strengthens our communities. As PCC, I have the privilege of representing Dorset residents, and they deserve an exceptional and proven leader who will build on past successes, deliver the priorities as set out in my Police and Crime Plan, and drive the Force towards being ‘outstanding’. From me, you will have a partner who will provide challenge, direction and support. Together we can tackle not only, the things that matter to our local residents, but also, the complex and high harms that drive our demand. As Chief Constable, I will expect you to further develop our shared culture of innovation and transformation, including across the wider partnership landscape. If you share this ambition, and believe you are the right person to lead our police service, then I encourage you to contact my Chief Executive, Simon Bullock, on [email protected]. Best wishes, David Sidwick Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset ROLE PROFILE POST ROLE PURPOSE Chief Constable The Chief Constable has the overall responsibility for leading Dorset Police.

    Martin Baker QPM BSc (Hons) MBA Chief Constable DORSET POLICE FORCE HEADQUARTERS WINFRITH DORCHESTER DT2 8DZ Your reference: Our reference: JBJ.3710.JAT Dr Martin Ayres If telephoning please ask for: Chief Constable's PA Direct dial: 01202 223727 Town Clerk Fax: 01202 223925 Swanage Town Council Email: [email protected] Typetalk 18000 The Town Hall High Street 12 December 2011 SWANAGE BH19 2NZ Dear Dr Ayres THE PROPOSED RELOCATION OF THE SWANAGE NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICING TEAMS AND PUBLIC CONTACT POINT TO A CENTRAL LOCATION WITHIN THE TOWN OF SWANAGE As you will know we have, for some considerable time, been working with you to explore the possibility of relocating our police officers and staff based in Swanage (i.e. our Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) and counter services staff) from our current, somewhat inaccessible site in Swanage to a more central location within the Town Hall. This proposal is designed to increase levels of access and deliver an improved police service to the residents and visitors to Swanage and the surrounding area. We believe that such an approach would facilitate an even closer working relationship between the Town Council and the Force and offer the opportunity to enhance further the police service through a common enquiry desk serving both organisations. The proposal is that Dorset Police occupy the entire Annexe building (with the exception of the archive store on the lower ground floor), amounting to approximately 75sq.m across 3 levels. This will necessitate some minor internal building modifications to make the space fit for purpose and meet security requirements.
